JOHOR BARU – A special committee will be formed to scrutinise the proposed construction of Sultanah Aminah Hospital 2 (HSA2) on land owned by the Defence Ministry, said Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
In a Facebook post today, the Johor menteri besar said the move was to enable various matters that had been agreed upon to be realised in addition to drawing up a systematic plan.
He said the construction of HSA2 is very important because it can reduce dependency and congestion at the existing Sultanah Aminah Hospital here.
“Thank God, thank you Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan for your help and good cooperation and hopefully the joint efforts of the federal government and the state government will have a positive impact on the quality of life of the Johor people, and will be able to raise the state of Johor as a developed state. Insya-Allah.
“In addition, Johor’s security and defence are very important, especially the state border security, and this matter has been discussed together,” he said in the post.
Last month, Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa was quoted as saying that the results of the discussions between her ministry and the Defence Ministry regarding the land ownership issue for the construction of HSA2 are expected to be known in two or three months. – Bernama, July 13, 2023
